I’m reaching out one more time to ask for your help to save dogs like Joey. Today is the last day your gift is matched to fight back against animal cruelty
and protect innocent animals who are suffering now.
[[link removed]] You and the Animal Legal Defense Fund are their best hope for rescue and a
second chance at a happy life.

No one cared about Joey. They just wanted her puppies. Joey spent eight years in a puppy mill, confined
to a small wire cage and forced to produce puppies again and again. Each time,
her pups were taken from her at an early age, neglected, and then sold to pet
stores. What Joey endured is entirely legal in the U.S. and common practice at
the estimated 10,000 puppy mills that exist across the country.
[[link removed]] Puppy mills like the one Joey lived in abuse and neglect animals to maximize
profits. Dogs are often crammed in wire cages and stacked on top of each other — with
urine and feces from the dogs above dripping onto the dogs below, causing skin
burns and even blindness.

There’s no affection or playtime, no grooming, and little to no veterinary care.
The dogs often have fur mats and visible wounds — abscesses, tumors, and cut
paws from being forced to stand on wire floors. John, we must stop this abuse, and that means we
need the support of people like you. When you become a member of the Animal
Legal Defense Fund by midnight tonight, your donation will go twice as far to
fight cruelty and save lives like Joey’s
[[link removed]] !

The Animal Legal Defense Fund is combatting puppy mill abuse through multiple
legal channels, including lawsuits and retail pet sale bans that prevent pet
stores from selling puppies sourced from puppy mills. But we need your help. Your gift will mean so much to dogs like Joey.

Joey was lucky. She was rescued and now lives in a home where she is loved. But
most breeding moms don’t survive puppy mills. They endure lives of suffering,
and when they can no longer have puppies, they’re killed — many are drowned or
shot. That’s the fate that awaits thousands of dogs right now. That’s why I’m asking you to offer your strongest support to fight for an end
to this cruel industry and give animals the legal voice they need. MATCH MY GIFT
[[link removed]] Please join us now when your gift is matched dollar for dollar, up to $11,000
[[link removed]] .

And remember, most puppies sold online and in pet stores come from puppy mills —
so please don’t buy them and don’t support this cruel industry. For the animals,
Stephen Wells
Executive Director

P.S. There are many animals in shelters in need of a loving home. If you’re
looking to add an animal companion to your family, please adopt — don’t shop . And if you can’t adopt an animal, you can still save a life with your matched gift to the Animal Legal Defense Fund today .
